Mini Biosensors

Activities■ Making a Peroxide Biosensor■ Testing a Cholesterol Biosensor

Design Project■ Designing a Glucose Biosensor

Through the following key select activities, students investigate the use of biological molecules as materials and use enzymes as chemical sensors in the design of diagnostic tests for peroxide, cholesterol, and glucose.

MWM will give students an opportunity to understand the world around them in a way they have never experienced before. The modules promote an awareness of the roles science and technology play in society and guide students to take increased control of their work.
